Ararat Insane Asylum in Victoria

[ramjet]

So my daughter Alicia, goes for a trip this weekend just past to the above mentioned place. It is now closed down and is a tourist attraction.

On the tour, they got told about a bell tower that has now been all closed up after an inmate hung himself in there. There is no longer any access to it. At the same time that Alicia took a photo, her partner Caleb, took a photo as well. (I don't have that one)

In Caleb's photo, there is just a window. In Alicia's photo there is a man's face in the window. My wife and I picked it before even seeing the photo that Alicia sent with a ring where she saw the face. Exact same spot.

Quite eerie really. The untouched photo is below. Can you see a face it it?

Ghost of Ned Kelly. Having lived in Melbourne and driven out to the Grampian many times, shame I didn’t know this was there. Next visit maybe…….whenever.

Be interesting to see both photos.

Ive only ever one moment that I didn’t like and couldn’t explain but still gives me the willies when I think about it. In a house we rented in North Wales 21 years ago.

Yes Eerie 😱

Alicia got home today. I will get another photo that she has which quite clearly shows two faces. I'll have to get Caleb's photo as well. He was right beside her when he took his.

Here's another photo that Alicia took just before the first one that I posted. The photo above is the one that has two faces in it. The second is much harder to see than the first face.

One of the things that spooked both her and Caleb and the the tour guide had never seen before, was lights going on and off in another building that they could see through a window of the building they were in. The thing with that is that there is no electricity hooked up to the building. Hasn't been for years.

Battery powered lamps? Four candles? 😀

And they were the questions that I asked Caleb. Was it setup? People with lamps etc. The tour guide apparently was honestly shocked and said they had never seen that before. The lights were moving from floor to floor and room to room.

The tour guide said that they didn't even have enough people to do what they could see happening.

The only part of the asylum that still has power is the front foyer where the tours start and finish. The lighting for the tours is four of the people on the tour are given a lamp that they carry. The rest of the electrics in the place are so old that they were all decommissioned due to the fire risk. They can't upgrade anything because as soon as they alter anything, they have to change everything to bring it up to code. Cost a small fortune.
